How to remove the large folder section newly appeared at the bottom of the Windows 10 Start Menu?
After starting the computer and installing WizTree, a section organized in large folders suddenly appeared at the bottom of the Start Menu. This area is poorly categorized and does not match my personal usage habits. I wish to completely remove it or restore the previous clean layout. I am unsure if this change was caused by the installation of WizTree, but it is more likely that system settings were unintentionally modified. However, I cannot find the corresponding adjustment options in the settings.

The new section that appeared at the bottom of your Start Menu, especially after installing WizTree, is likely a "Pinned" or "Recent" items area, or possibly a new group added by some system or app update. Sometimes, third-party software or system updates can inadvertently modify the Start Menu layout or add new pinned groups or folders.

You can reset the preferences to default.

If you've recently installed an app, check the app's settings for customization options related to the Start Menu.
